II. Background Information and Regulatory History The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4a of the Administrative Procedure Act APA 5
U.S.C. 553b. This provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those procedures are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. Under 5 U.S.C.
553bB, the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking NPRM
with respect to this rule because it is impracticable. Immediate action is needed to protect persons and property from the potential safety hazards associated with dredging operations.
The NPRM process would delay the establishment of the safety zone until after the date of the event and compromise public safety. We must establish this temporary safety zone immediately and lack sufficient time to provide a reasonable comment period and then consider those comments before issuing the rule.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553d3, the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for making this rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of this rule would be contrary to the public interest because immediate action is needed to respond to the potential safety hazards associated with dredging operations in the vicinity of Waxhaw, MS starting August 13, 2021.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034
previously 33 U.S.C. 1231. The Captain of the Port COTP Sector Lower Mississippi River LMR has determined that potential hazards associated with dredging operations between Mile Marker MM 593 and 597, scheduled to start on August 13, 2021, would be a safety concern for all persons and vessels on the Lower Mississippi River between MM 593 and MM 597 through September 15, 2021. This rule is needed to protect persons, property, infrastructure, and the marine environment in all waters of the LMR
within the safety zone while dredging operations are being conducted.
IV. Discussion of the Rule This rule establishes a temporary safety zone from August 13, 2021
through September 15, 2021. The safety zone will cover all navigable waters of
